About Belair Clinic
In Belair Clinic not all drug and alcohol problems are the same.
There are some drug and alcohol users who abuse substances but who are not apparently dependent on them.
There are also those who are heavily addicted, not being able to go a day, or even a few hours, without a pill, hit, or drink.
Beginning with Substance Users, there are individuals who use marijuana just on the weekends, for example, who could benefit from treatment.
Perhaps the marijuana use is causing problems in the individuals life, but so far nothing serious.
An individual like this would benefit from outpatient counseling.
Outpatient counseling can be 4-8 times per month, simply meeting with a counselor for an hour each time.
The counselor will probably recommend participation in an community support group (e.g. Lifering, AA, NA) as well.
The combination of community support groups and individual counseling sessions can sometimes be enough to resolve issues around substance use.
